Amazing how such a talented player like Colston continues to get ignored by talking heads because he wasn't a sexy 1st round pick or some Thug PoS who tweets his thoughts, talks trash, and draws penalty flags from celebrations.

(Not referring to Fitz in that comment, as he has always been a good person on and off the field)

He's a big time receiver who doesn't run his mouth ever. He'll never be considered elite until he's retired and then someone will compare a current player with him and of course, no school like the old school.

And Fitzgerald had Boldin which took a lot of the attention off of him from the defense. If he's so great he should be breaking records like Megatron not have season on par with the "system player" Colston right?

I hate journalists sometimes. It seems that anyone can do it.

My dad and I were talking about Big Smoove last night...it's hard to notice him except when he makes a play. I know it's cliche to say he doesn't taunt or do a TD dance or run his mouth, but in today's NFL were everybody does a 15 yard dub step you got served dance number after a tackle where the opponent gained 5 yards, it's incredibly refreshing to see Colston just being cool.

The article is correct, but it insinuates that Colston is overrated when we all know that the opposite is true. Colston has never gotten the credit he deserves by media outside of LA. It's a joke he hasn't been to a pro bowl I don't know if there are any hall of famers that haven't been to the pro bowl or all pro but he could be the first.

Before the season started the geniuses at SI did an article about receivers and those drafted late that produced well. They said they didn't include Marques Colston because he was AN UNDRAFTED FREE AGENT!
